Shared app settings

Article number:0401067

Common app settings is a feature that allows Kintone system administrators to manage settings that apply to all apps.

Settings for each app are configured by app administrators. However, to prevent risky settings from being applied across Kintone, Kintone administrators can restrict some settings.

Steps

  1. Click the Settings icon (the gear-shaped icon) at the top of Kintone, then click Kintone administration.

  2. On the "Kintone administration" screen, click "Common App Settings".

  3. On the App Settings screen, configure the necessary settings.
    For details on the settings, refer to the following section.
    Prohibiting the App Management Permission for the Everyone Group in App Permissions

  4. Click Save.

Items that can be managed in the Common Settings of apps

[Prohibiting the App Management Permission from being granted to the Everyone group in App Permissions]

Kintone System Administrators can restrict App Administrators from granting the "App Management" permission to the "Everyone" group.

This section describes the impact of the setting that Kintone System Administrators can use to prohibit granting the "App management" permission to the "Everyone" group.
When this setting is set to "Prohibit", it affects not only new apps but also existing apps that already have the "App management" permission granted to the "Everyone" group.

Impact on App Administrators:

If the Everyone group is granted permission to manage apps on the Permissions for app screen, an error occurs and you will not be able to perform the following actions:

  • Saving Permission Settings
  • Updating or Deploying an App

On the "View" screen:​

When a user with app management permissions attempts to perform the following operations on the Record List screen, an error occurs and the operation becomes impossible.

  • Save Filter Conditions
  • Saving Charts

Impact when using REST API:

If the following REST API is executed to grant app management permission to the "Everyone" group, an error occurs and the operation cannot be completed.
